Eames La Chaise, Aarnio’s Ball Chair, Nelson’s Marshmallow Sofa, De Lucchi First Chair, Gehry’s Wiggle Chair.
These are just some of the iconic designs featured on the “Chair History” T-Shirt. You could have hours of fun naming the thirty chairs depicted on the white t-shirt.
It costs 23,80 Euros (around £20) and is available form the Vitra Design Museum Shop in sizes from Small to XL.
Griffin has teamed up with iconic raincoat maker Mackintosh to add a small twist on a classic – the Griffin x Mackintosh trench coat.
As you’d expect from a Mackintosh coat, it’s made of double-sided rubberised cotton, so when the rain comes down, your clothes are safe from a soaking. Aside from that, you get all the traditional detailing – centre vent on the rear, breathing holes under the arm and concealed buttons leading up to a slim collar.
Available in khaki, it sells for £495.
Not content with reissuing the classic Fila Matchday Jacket, Fila has now introduced a limited edition Matchday Jacket in leather.
Based on the classic jacket famously worn by Bjorn Borg in the mid 80s, this new version is made of black leather with a perforated leather sleeve and black and white sleeve, cuff and waist detailing.
And as it’s a limited edition, Fila is even throwing in a presentation suit carrier to keep it safe and clean. You can pick one up online, priced at £299.

The word ‘trainers’ doesn’t seem to do justice to the Puma Easy Rider. In its day, it was a cutting-edge running shoe.
And that day was 1978. 30 years on and these rugged shoes are back on the market, packing those same rugged soles for running in the wilds – or just jogging to the local shop in the winter.
The shoes have a lightweight nylon underlay, with suede detailing and two lace options. They’ve also been slightly ‘distressed’, just so everyone thinks they’re original I suspect. Pre-order them no for late October delivery, price is around £55 for any of the colourways.

There’s a chill in the air – which means it could be time to invest in a scarf. And that 60s classic, the Tootal scarf, returns with ‘new’ designs for autumn/winter 2008.
Once more, it’s a raid on the Tootal vintage archive for inspiration, with the new range including dots, dogtooth and paisley designs in various colours, as well as more quirky prints, including stars and a skinny tartan scarf.
More pictures after the turn – and if you like what you see, you can pick one up for £35. Call 0129 6738591 for stockists – no website available sadly.
